Dean tells Republicans to "Bring It On"

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa (Reuters) -- Fast-rising Democrat Howard Dean said Friday his 2004 White House campaign was on a roll and challenged Republicans who would welcome him as President Bush's opponent to "bring it on."

As the former Vermont governor traveled the snow-covered plains of western Iowa with Al Gore's surprise endorsement tucked away, nobody seemed able to agree on whether he was a dangerous liberal or a closet conservative.

Republican advisers regard him as the probable Democratic nominee, vulnerable to attack as inexperienced in national security and running too far left in the primary campaign to make a credible change of course to win in November.

"If I may quote the president," Dean told reporters with a smirk, "Bring it on." He was paraphrasing Bush's much criticized "bring 'em on" challenge to insurgents in Iraq.

jeez, it's one thing for us to disagree on our choice Dem's issues, but when one of them rocks, how hard is it for us to appreciate it? Pretty hard, apparently...

it IS possible for Deanies, Clarkies, Kerry-ies and Kucinichies, etc, to AGREE

:toast:
